I tried backporting phosh-mobile-settings now, as you mentioned it
needs newer libadwaita, which in turn needs newer glib and gtk4. So I
think gnome team won't like the official backports.
Arnaud,
Do you think it would be a good idea to have bookworm-backports suite
in mobian repo and upload these there?
As for bugs, I think keeping up with new upstream versions would be a
good strategy. If I go with byzantium experience, I'd think you will
support newer versions on crimson, so having bookworm-backports should
be easier to maintain.
